Be it known that l. WILLIAM l'lPZRBICR'l Rors'roxu. a citizen of thel'nited States. residing at New York city. county and State of New York.have invented new and useful Improvements in Foilet Articles. of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relat s to an improved toilet article and moreparticularly to a toilet article which may he provided with two compactsof face powder. rouge or the like. there being preferably provided arouge compact and a face powder compact.

The objects oi the invention are the provision of an improved toiletarticle whereby there may be provided a rouge compact and a powdercompact each associated with a pad or applicator. so that the user mayobtain rouge or powder at will: the whole being so assembled as tooccupy a minimum space.

Another object is to provide a toilet article wherein the new compactsmay be readily positioned and wherein worn out compacts may be easilyreplaced.

lo the accompanyimc drawings l have shown, for purposes of illustration.one of the many possible embodiments in which my invention may takeform. In these drawings. Fig. 1 is an elevational view of the toiletarticle;

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of 1: and

Fig. 3 is an elevation showing the covers opened.

A ring or sleeve 5 or" a length approximately equal to the thickness oftwo new compacts is provided with covers 6 and 7 hingedly connected at Rand 9. "The ring may be circular, as shown in the drawin s, when theinside diameter will be equal to the outside diameter of the compact.Where, however. it is desired to use noncircular compacts, anappropriate shape is given to the ring whereby it may surround andsupport the periphery of the compacts. Each cover is adapted to beclosed down upon the adjacent end of the sleeve or ring 5. The ring 5 ispreferably provided with two beads 10 and 11 to limit the closingmovement of the covers 6 and 7. The ring is also provided on the sideopposite the hinges 8 and 9 with projections 12 and 13 which are adaptedto cooperate with recesses 14 and 15 in the cover members 6 and 7 so asto hold the covers in closed position. The inside of each cover isprovided with a mirror 16 which may be held in place by a ring 17.

The metal parts of the toilet article above described may be made of anysuitable still metal. plated and ornamented as desired.

The reference characters 18 and 19 indicate two compacts of face powder,rouge or the like, preferably one of these compacts being rouge, theother being face powder. Each of these compacts is preferably made ofcompressed powder enclosed in pervious cloth. and backed up by a sheetof cardboard, or the like. such as is described in my Patent No.1,388,204. of August 23, 1921. Cloth covered compacts cooperateespecially well with the sleeve 5 for the reason that the compact, whenforced inside the same, is held by friction between the cloth and theinner surface of the sleeve or ring. The friction between the partshowever is not very great, as one can easily replace the compacts whenworn out or substitute new compacts.

Powder puffs 20 and 21, one for each compact. are located intermediatethe mirrors and the compacts, so that a puff carrying the desired tintis always available for service.

It is apparent that the toilet article is one which will be foundconvenient in use. The user may open the desired cover and obtain asupply of tltta selected toilet preparation. The compacts may slide inthe annular frame to a slight extent when rubbfid by the putt but thiscauses no harm.

It vill be noted that the article may be made of the minimum amount ofmaterial and is also very thin, owing to the economical use oi materialand absence of unused space.

What is claimed is:

1. In a toilet article. a frame for carrying two compacts of facepowder, rouge or the like, back-to-back in abutting relation, said framecomprising a ring or sleeve cooperable with the compacts to surround andsupport the periphery thereof, and a cover for each end of the ring orsleeve.
